The patch "net: phy: add support for clause 37 auto-negotiation" works on my CMM platform, with just 1 minor change in phy.h (I guess it's typo?). Thanks again for the help!

-int genphy_c37_aneg_done(struct phy_device *phydev);
+int genphy_c37_config_aneg(struct phy_device *phydev);

BTW, shall I send out my patch v5 now (based on your patch)? Or I should wait till your patch is included in net-next and then send out my patch?


Cheers,
